ABSTRACT Power Quality(PQ) has become an area of concern in the electrical distribution system. Dynamic Voltage Restorer(DVR) restores load voltage to a nominal balanced sinusoidal voltage, when the source voltage has harmonic distortions, sag, swell and unbalances. In this paper a Photo Voltaic(PV) fed DVR is proposed to mitigate PQ problems. The PV system can supply the maximum power to the load at a particular operating point known as Maximum Power Point (MPP), at which the entire PV system operates with maximum efficiency. A Fuzzy Controller based MPPT is implemented to generate the optimal voltage from the photovoltaic system by modulating the duty cycle applied to the boost converter. The DVR is implemented using a Fuzzy Logic Controller based voltage source inverter with Photovoltaic system. The test system has been simulated and the efficacy of the proposed PV based Fuzzy controlled DVR is compared with Proportional Integral (PI) controlled DVR.

1. INTRODUCTION The requirement of the electrical power is increasing and in tandem the problems while transmitting the power through the distribution system are also increasing. In the recent years, Power Quality (PQ) problems in the distribution system and their solutions have received much attention. Power Quality is defined as the index which both the delivery and consumption of electric power affects on the performance of electrical apparatus [1]. A Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) is a custom power device which is used to mitigate the voltage sags by injecting DOI : 10.5121/ijfls.2016.6203
